Answer1) It does appear that both private and public sector companies participate
2) The benefit to businesses is that they save money. The VRS scheme is used when they have more employees than they need to meet production demands, but since they are unionized the company can't just fire people. Instead, they offer incentives to people to quite their jobs for an early retirement with a minor pension.
3) It's an incentive to get people to quite their jobs by offering them about about 1/11 of their regular annual wages as a retirement pension. That way the company saves money by paying people less for work they weren't doing anyway.
4) I don't see anything that says people to opt for VRS can't apply for additional jobs. The company cannot hire someone new to the same position, but it appears as though employees can take new jobs at other companies. This would be consistent with standard pension and retirement packages, wherein you can collect retirement from one company and work at another, generating dual-income.
